Modern science witnesses the introduction of new technologies and improvements on the existing ones almost on a daily basis. As such, it is difficult for individuals in one discipline to keep up with the techniques in another to enable quick integration of state of the art techniques into ongoing research. This Resource will, based on interactions with the principal investigators, provide advise and assistance to suit the molecular biology, pathology and viral vector needs of the research studies. This will provide economy of effort. The reagents will be generated in the PI's laboratory with advice and assistance from the experts in this Resource. We therefore do not foresee a need for committed full time laboratory personnel. Also, many of the constructs are common between the projects and require few alterations to customize them. Serving as a central resource, the participants of this resource will serve as a common point of reference for all the investigators in this JHU ICMIC. This will again, produce an economy of effort.
